Rang

laDki

taswiren banati hai

safed kaghaz par

idhar se udhar ko

bahut sari lakiren Dalti hai

in mein koi bhi lakiren

ek dusre ko chhu kar nahin guzarti

shahr se bahar jaane wali saDkon ki tarah

sab lakiren

kisi nai jagah pahuncha deti hain

hum wahan se wapas nahin aa sakte

lakir ke aaKHiri sire par

hamein Thahra dekh ke

laDki pareshan ho jati hai

wo aaiwari paper par

bahut se nuqte Dalti hai

aur phir surKH pencil se

inhin lakiron se milane lagti hai

thoDi hi der mein

ek naya barr-e-azam numudar ho jata hai

laDki lakir ke sire par

Thahre hue aadmi ko

apne barr-e-azam ke ek jazire par le ja kar

chhoD deti hai

is jazire par abhi shayad

bahut ziyaada baadal

bahut ziyaada aasman

bahut ziyaada KHamoshi

aur bahut ziyaada tanhai hai

itni sari chizon ke

zarurat se ziyaada hone par

aadmi Dar jata hai aur

rone lagta hai

wo kahta hai mujhe ek shahr chahiye

laDki wada karti aur use

apni banai hui bahut si taswiren dikhati hai

jin mein dariya samundar jangal aur shahr

hamesha maujud rahte hain

wo ek shahr ko apne pas rakh leta hai

laDki ek aur shahr banati hai

us shahr mein abhi koi nahin rahta

bahut ziyaada KHali ghar

bahut ziyaada KHali raste

bahut ziyaada KHali aasman

laDki apne shahr ko dekhti hai

aur KHamosh ho jati hai

wo ro nahin sakti

use KHamosh baiTha dekh ke

aadmi rangin pencilen uTha kar

bahut ziyaada KHali shahr mein

rang bharne lagta hai
